Abstract
A process for directing a subscriber toward a destination within an SDMA mobile radio network, and a processor-controlled facility (BSC) which operates accordingly are proposed. This facility contains a communications interface unit (IF1) for receiving a message that specifies a destination (DES) desired by a subscriber, and a microprocessor which determines the current location (LOC) of the subscriber by evaluating directional and distance information (.alpha., R). The processor-controlled facility (MSC) furthermore contains communications interface unit (IF2) whereby it retrieves information (INFO) from a data base (DB), which defines a route from the location (LOC) to the destination (DES). This information is transmitted in summary form to the subscriber's mobile radio terminal (MS).
